The group has members of all abilities so most walks tend to be local walks around the Machars of between 1 and 2 hours long. We plan to have a small number of walks that could be a little longer and a short distance further. All are welcome, whether you want to join us regularly or just for a specific walk. Dogs are generally welcome as long as they are under control and others do not object.
Looking for something more strenuous? See the Walking group.
Next walk
